According to the Wild Boar Association, the animals are naturally 'very timid': "They will search out a nice quiet area of woodland where they can hide away in peace.

"Wild boar will usually smell a human and run away long before you even know they are there.

"However, if you are lucky enough to see a wild boar you have two options, one is to admire this amazing animal and appreciate it for what it is, the other is to make noise and clap your hands and the boar will run away after giving a little grunt"
